No longer relevant, if a jaffa cake wants to self identify as cake or biscuit it can do so .

They tried the 'Cake' fiddle on to save VAT.
If it goes hard aka dries out (like a moister cake would) its a cake
If it goes soft its a biscuit...clues in the name...biscuit - twice baked
So its drier and absorbs moisture and goes soft

Kimberley biscuits in Ireland they're soft, fig rolls, soft chewy cookies, none of them are poncing around calling themselves cakes. Now get back in the biscuit aisle you uppity little round orange git.

Did the vat man take this to court due to different vat rates for cakes and biscuits or is this an urban myth? Supposedly it was decided to be a cake as biscuits get softer when they go stale, but cakes do the opposite...
